I absolutely loved this idea when I came across Mackenzie Horan's 101 in 1001 post on her blog, Design Darling a couple years ago. A 101 in 1001 list is essentially 101 things you would like to do in 1001 days or 2.75 years… Mackenzie describes 1001 days as a happy medium between writing a to do list and keeping a bucket list.

Mackenzie is now on her second 101 things in 1001 days list and I secretly finished my first last year and thought it would be fun to upload my second list, which I will be updating as I cross items off.

Definitely take a look at Mackenzie's 1st and 2nd lists as well as find other bloggers lists here - hopefully these will be as inspiring as they were for me.
